3. Unfortunately this power outage caused the death of one of my neighbors

My neighbor across the street, who turned 90 yesterday and lives alone,was dependent on oxygen. When another neighbor checked on her, the woman was found unconscious by the kitchen door. Apparently her oxygen supply stopped working when the lights went out.

The neighbor and my husband administered CPR while I called 911.The neighbor's husband came and took over CPR since he was more familiar with it. Fire and rescue crews came quickly and took her to a hospital.

My husband said the paramedics found she still had a weak pulse, but I learned this afternoon that she passed away.
